Moroccans Urge Boycott of Brands Backing Israel, Demand End to Normalization

IQNA – During a pro-Palestinian march in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, on Sunday, thousands of Moroccans called for severance of ties with the Zionist regime as the war on Gaza rages on.

Protests against Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip have repeatedly drawn thousands of people in Morocco since the conflict began more than two months ago.

Sunday’s march was co-organized by leftist groups and the outlawed but tolerated Al-Adl Wal-Ihsan group.

The protesters waved Palestinian flags and held placards reading “resistance till victory,” “stop Moroccan government normalization with Israel” and “free Palestine.”

Morocco agreed to normalize ties with Israel in 2020, under pressure from the US government.

Protesters in Sunday’s march also called for a boycott of brands they accuse of supporting Israel.

Despite their policy of normalizing ties with Israel, Moroccan authorities have continued to back the creation of a Palestinian state and have urged a ceasefire in Gaza and the protection of all civilians there.

Morocco and the Israeli regime have not yet completed the process of setting up full embassies as they agreed.
